Shadowgirls

I think the general assent here is that Jackson should maybe at the very least think before he says things. Relationships involve two people, usually. Chrissy is dealing with the fact she's harboured a lot of resentment towards Charon (and her husband's obvious affection for her – I'll not say romantic interest) and it's been misplaced. She can almost certainly see where she's been a grade-a bitch in the past, how this has damaged her daughter, and she can see where she's pushed Jack away with her own actions. And she dealing with the fact she's not strictly human. And her daughter is in a coma and she seems to be the only one that is dealing with it. Jackson just works merrily at the office, runs off in the middle of the night for work (brought to him by someone Chris only really knows as the town lothario), etc. It's not what she needs.

Chrissy needs a bit of a break here – trying to be a good person is a bit of a tough one for her; she's having to figure it out as she goes along. She's not wrong to want some support from her husband in this. She's certainly not wrong to want to try and bridge any gaps she's made between herself and Jackson by spending some time with him, and maybe get a break from sitting at the side of a hospital bed looking at a child that for all she knows might never wake up again… that's got to be hell for any mother. She needs a little affirmation. A hug. A pat on the back. Hell, anything to convince her she's not screwed up too badly and that everything will be ok. Even if it's a lie. The man's gonna break her heart and she'll wind up right back where she was before, maybe even worse. And that breaks my heart a little bit… I'm a sucker for villains maiking good

"This stuff can't really hold, but to hell with it – I'm not spending enough time with you. I'll come pick you up at the hospital and we'll get something to eat. I'll have to go back soon, but I can spend some time with my favorite girls. See you in ten."

See? Easy. Innsmouth ain't exactly gonna be like rushing across New York at rush hour. Not telling her too much, either.

As for this latest development… I think even without telling her what Misty had got planned for her, Chrissy will know how rough her kid's been on Becka. After all, she's more or less encouraged it for how many years? She might not want to hear or believe it if Becka spills the whole story, but she'd probably know her daughter was at least capable of it because time was that she was too.

And for the record, I'd hardly call Chrissy's biomom horrid

Heeheehee…

I'm also reading Anne of Green Gables. 

Now back to the regularly scheduled actual discussion of the comic.
